Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 49: Summons from the Ancestral Temple
True Man Wuwang is the current head of Taiyi Palace and the eldest senior brother of True Man Mingyi's generation. Liu Hanzhang is considered the eldest senior brother.

Yang Qisheng hurriedly opened the gate and invited the two in.

Huo Yaoguang came up and asked, "I asked Senior Brother Liu to subdue the horse demon. Where did this demon come from?"

After Yang Qisheng finished explaining his side of the story, Liu Hanzhang was very surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the Soul-crossing Young Master. "The demons of the Taiyin Ghost Path are all evil and kill people like ants. Master once ordered that our disciples must kill any Taiyin disciples they encounter and not let them go!"

He pointed at the head of the Soul-Ferrying Young Master floating in the flames and said, "The Taiyin Ghost Demon cultivated by this demon is very special. Junior Brother Yang entered the sect a little late, and we don't know their details, so it's difficult to eliminate them. Why don't you let me, Senior Brother, give it a try?"

This Senior Brother Liu spoke very humbly and politely, and was very considerate of Yang Qisheng's face. He was very different from that Xue Yan and did not have the arrogance of a disciple from the "upper three gates" at all.

Yang Qisheng felt a surge of affection. "Brother, if you're willing to help, that would be great. I've been dealing with him for a long time, and I've tried everything, but I'm still helpless. Please!"

He stepped aside, and Liu Hanzhang made a sword gesture with his hands, and suddenly a dazzling white lightning burst out from his body, illuminating every blade of grass and tree in the surrounding barren mountains.

As the flash of light burst out from his fingertips and chiseled towards the head of Master Duhun, there was a loud "crack" of thunder, flames shot out, and Master Duhun screamed, then turned into ashes, his body and soul destroyed!
Yang Qisheng was extremely envious of this move, and Huo Yaoguang started to applaud beside him, "What a powerful Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword!"

It turned out that what Liu Hanzhang had used just now was not a Taoist thunder magic, but his own flying sword, the sword energy refined by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Technique!

Liu Hanzhang smiled modestly and said, "Excuse me for your poor performance. Junior Sister Huo's Tushita Purple and Blue Sword Technique, after being refined into a sword aura, will be extremely powerful in slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits. Junior Brother Yang, if you can refine the Five Elements Sword Aura into a Five Elements Sword Aura in the future, its uses will be even more endless."

Huo Yaoguang talked about what happened after she returned that day. She took Xue Yan to Longgao Mountain first, but Zhenren Mingyi was in seclusion in Shenglong Cave on the top of the mountain, and Ye Yunqiao was also in seclusion in his own cave at the foot of the mountain. There was a forbidden earth fire spell in the valley outside, and she could not get close as an outsider. She was unwilling to force her way in and call for help, so she turned around and rushed to Qingning Mountain.

When they arrived at Qingning Mountain, they met Dayou Zhenren, who was in charge of daily affairs. Dayou Zhenren quickly cast a spell to save Xue Yan and broke the blood corpse curse on him. He also found Liu Hanzhang and asked him to come here with Huo Yaoguang to meet Yang Qisheng and kill the horse demon.

The time it took to go back and forth lasted from noon to midnight.

Yang Qisheng had already killed the horse demon alone and also destroyed a demon from the Taiyin Ghost Dao. Not only was Huo Yaoguang surprised, even Liu Hanzhang looked up to him.

After Liu Hanzhang understood the situation, he personally went down to tell the villagers, "The horse demon you wanted to worship was a resentful, man-eating monster. It has now been eliminated by our junior brothers, and you have all saved your lives. There is an even more powerful demon in the general's tomb in the back mountain. It will emerge in a few months. When it does, none of you will survive. Leave here immediately."

He just repeated these words patiently, and whether the villagers were willing to believe it or not was entirely up to them.

Yang Qisheng said, "Since Senior Brother Liu is here, there are even more powerful demons in this tomb. It would be better if Senior Brother could eliminate them and avoid a catastrophe in the future."

Liu Hanzhang waved his hand. "The restrictions on the Universal Ceremony are still in place. If I were to open the tomb now and resurrect the former occupant, and then engage him in a duel, no matter who wins, I would incur divine punishment. The Universal Ceremony was a ritual jointly held by Emperor Taizu and all the immortals. It connects the Three Realms above and the Nine Netherworlds below, and all the caves and spiritual realms in the heavens are under its control."

The higher the level of cultivation, the easier it is to trigger. For those in the Refining Sha stage, using only the Sha Qi from the ground is not a problem. But once you reach the Refining Gang realm like my brother, every spell will draw upon the Heavenly Gang, and even a single powerful spell could potentially trigger a Heavenly Tribulation. Regarding this matter, I'll have to go back and consult the Master and my fellow uncles for their decision."

Yang Qisheng knew very little about the Universal Ceremony, and the consciousness of the True Man Mingyi in his mind did not tell him too much, so he had to let it go. Anyway, it would be completely ineffective in a few months.

He first said goodbye to Master Wang Huyue and his disciple, and agreed to visit each other often in the future. Then Yang Qisheng invited Liu Hanzhang and Huo Yaoguang to visit Longgao Mountain.

Liu Hanzhang politely declined, "I came out on a mission this time and must return to report as soon as possible. When I have time later, I'll go to Longgao Mountain to pay my respects to Uncle Mingyi, and then bother you again."

"Good!" As the eldest senior brother, Liu Hanzhang was humble and modest, and was very popular. Yang Qisheng also respected him a little.

After returning to Longgao Mountain alone, Yang Qisheng displayed all his spoils.

This time I was helping my junior sister to pick poisonous dragon fruit, but I didn't expect that it would lead to such a thing. Fortunately, I escaped without any danger, gained a lot of knowledge, and got a lot of things.

In total, he obtained seven flying swords, one flying knife, and one flying hook, all of which were of the Demon Refining level.

Yang Qisheng thought about putting them together with the Blood Pecking Sword, making exactly ten of them. He could attach sword energy to them, and when fighting against the enemy, he could control ten evil-refining-level weapons at the same time, and his strength would be more than doubled!
Just by doing this, he would have entered the first-rate side door. If he could enter the stage of refining evil spirits and refine the five elements sword evil spirits, their power would not be inferior to theirs, and he would be more arbitrary and ever-changing.

However, the master has been in seclusion in Shenglong Cave for many years, and no one knows when he will come out to teach me the rest of the skills.

To cultivate the skills of the evil period, one must first enter the sect's genealogy and become a formal disciple. To become a formal disciple, one must wait at least another three years...

Yang Qisheng was a little worried about gains and losses, so he put all these aside for the time being. The Soul-Ferrying Master had left him a Soul-Ferrying Fan.

This fan is extraordinary. It is originally an extremely powerful ghost magic weapon, and it is infused with the evil spirit cultivated by the six sword immortals throughout their lives. When placed on the stone, it is colorful and can melt gold and cut iron. If it is not sealed with the magic talisman, it will not take long for it to melt through the stone below, and even go all the way down to the lungs of the earth!

Young Master Duhun carried a Qiankun bag with him, which was also obtained by Yang Qisheng.

His Qiankun bag is much better than the one in Jin Guang Ding. There are five ghosts embroidered on the black bag with white thread. Some of them have long tongues sticking out, some have protruding fangs, and some are holding their own heads in their hands.

As soon as the bag was opened, a chilling chill emanated from inside, making the hairs on one's body stand on end.

There is a three-foot square space in the bag, which is mostly filled with ghost things, including many paper-made people, cows and horses, as well as cars, boats, sedan chairs, tombs and pavilions. There are all kinds of things.

There is also a book called "Notes on Crossing the Soul", which is a note on cultivation that has been recorded and compiled by Master Crossing the Soul over the years.

The notes include the Taiyin Ghost Dao techniques he learned from his master Cui Wushe, techniques he learned from other places, and some "little tricks" he figured out on his own.

Yang Qisheng looked through some of it and found that there were actually a few spells that were from the "Lingbao Saving People Sutra". However, they had been passed down through many hands and had become unrecognizable. They were also used for evil purposes and became a kind of unorthodox magic.

There is also content from the "Eight Yang Divine Mantras of Heaven and Earth", but it is different from the one in the Golden Light Cauldron.

The Golden Light Ding's technique is derived from the "Golden Light Curse", and the Soul-Transferring Young Master's technique is derived from the "Xuan Yun Curse". There are only a few spells, but they have also been used in the ghost way. They actually use the souls of living people to form words to refine scriptures. A person's soul becomes a word, which not only has the shape of the word, but can also change and affect people's emotions.

It was written in the notes that his master, the ghost judge Cui Wushe, had a "Taiyin Book of Life and Death" made using this method. A total of 36,000 living souls were condensed into 36,000 words to form a book.

First of all, it is a Taoist book that records the most core secrets of the Taiyin Ghost Dao.

Secondly, it is a magic weapon. The words on it can wriggle and change at any time, changing the order to form different destinies, cursing the enemy, directly shortening people's lifespan and taking away their souls.

Just thinking about this thing makes my scalp tingle. Taiyin Ghost Dao is indeed not a good thing!
Yang Qisheng naturally had no intention of practicing this evil method. He simply compared it with the immortal methods in the Lingbao Saving People Sutra, trying to figure out how to break them. He wanted to break all the evil methods one by one, so that if he encountered the Taiyin Sect again in the future, he would be able to completely restrain them and quickly kill them. He even thought that when his immortal methods were fully mastered, he could go to Taiyin Mountain and completely eliminate this evil cult gang to prevent them from harming people again.

He also collected a lot of evil spirits, some were fire evil spirits, some were water evil spirits, some were ghost evil spirits, and some were spirit evil spirits. Each group of evil spirits condensed the life-long cultivation of a master in the evil spirit refining stage.

If it falls into the hands of other side sect cultivators, these evil spirits can be of great use. Not only can they be absorbed and transformed into their own cultivation, doubling their magic power, but they can also be used to refine magic weapons. A ball of evil spirit can create a magic weapon of the evil-refining level!
Yang Qisheng planned to select suitable ones and refine a few powerful magic weapons so that the next time he encountered the enemy, he would not have as much trouble as this time.

He thought that this trip out was just a minor episode, and that his life would return to the days of seclusion and cultivation in the mountains with Ye Yunqiao.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Liu Hanzhang came again.

"Junior brother, my master wants me to take you to Qingning Mountain."

Yang Qisheng was very surprised: "Master Master wants to see me?"

"Not only my master, but also my Second Uncle-Master." Liu Hanzhang's expression was somewhat solemn. "When I came here, my Second Uncle-Master specifically told me to bring all the unconventional flying swords, evil magic weapons, and the evil spirits I collected from the General's Tomb with me. Don't keep any of them for yourself."

Because of what happened with Xue Yan earlier, Yang Qisheng had a very bad impression of his uncle Dayou: "Is there something wrong with me? Or is there something wrong with the item?"

Liu Hanzhang shook his head: "It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, I just don't know."

Yang Qisheng felt a little uneasy, wondering if Dayou Zhenren would intentionally seek revenge on him. The key point was, I hadn't done anything to wrong his disciple. I had actually rescued him from the cemetery, so he should be grateful to me.
But the master also wants to look for me, why?

If you are saying that disciples are not allowed to use evil magic weapons and they must be destroyed, just let Liu Hanzhang take them away. Why do you have to make me go there?
He hurriedly asked the Mingyi Master in his mind, but Mingyi Master naturally didn't know either. Instead, he said to him, "Your uncle told you to go, so just go. Why are you overthinking so much?"

Yang Qisheng reflected on himself during this period and found that he had indeed not made any mistakes, so he felt more confident. After all, they were the elders and could not be unreasonable, so why not find a reason to punish him?
